The court also ruled that it is “the public policy of this state to recognize and support the sanctity of unborn life and the rights of unborn children, including the right to life,” (emphasis In a 7–2 decision, Alabama’s highest court ruled that the clinic had been negligent, allowing the parents to proceed with a wrongful death lawsuit. Mobile Infirmary Clinic, Inc, rested upon an argument by several intended parents that their “embryonic children” had been victims of a wrongful death when an intruder broke into the IVF clinic, dropping trays containing some of the embryos and ultimately destroying them. On Friday, the Alabama Supreme Court decided that embryos created through in-vitro fertilization would be protected under the Wrongful Death of a Minor Act, effectively classifying single-celled, fertilized eggs as children. Alabama statehouse Credit: Raymond Boyd / GettyĪ new ruling out of Alabama may spell the beginning of the end of the third-party fertility industry-and its reasoning partially relies on a verse from the Bible. Do they care enough to change the social failure Alabama has become? We’ll see in November. There is no fundamental reason Alabama should have such low rankings, it is the result of its culture and the choices made by its state government, and nothing is going to change this but the voters. It is poor - ranks 46th in the nation, highly racist - ranks 44th, has poor health care overall - ranks 42nd, and on and on. By every fact-based social outcome study Alabama is essentially a third-world country. The state is controlled by Republicans because the people in Alabama who can and do vote, vote for what this state has become. But that help will no longer be available in Alabama. One to two percent of women need in vitro fertilization in order to begin a family. “The reforestation has been remarkable and we have shown this has translated into Such large expanses have been reforested in the past century – with enough trees sprouting back to cover an area larger than England – that it has helped stall the affect of global heating. While the US, like the rest of the world, has heated up since industrial times due to the burning of fossil fuels, scientists have long been puzzled by a so-called “warming hole” over parts of the US south-east where temperatures have flatlined, or even cooled, despite the unmistakable broader warming trend.Ī major reason for this anomaly, the new study finds, is the vast reforestation of much of the eastern US following the initial loss of large numbers of trees in the wake of European settlement in America. Trees provide innumerable benefits to the world, from food to shelter to oxygen, but researchers have now found their dramatic rebound in the eastern US has delivered a further, stunning feat – the curtailing of the soaring temperatures caused by the climate crisis. ![]() Look at our education system, and our healthcare system. Look at what our yo-yo Speaker of the House and his MAGA gang are doing by blocking aid to Ukraine, and what that is prompting Putin to do. The problem with the American government is that they are more interested in playing their political power games than actually governing. Here is some good news and clear evidence of what we should be doing as a national program. For those of you who haven’t done so, but read SR regularly, I ask that you consider supporting it. It is one thing to put in the hours each day and to do the work for free, but another to have to cover the rising out-of-pocket costs. It makes a big difference and is much appreciated. I want to thank all of you who have contributed to SR, particularly those of you who have scheduled an ongoing monthly contribution. Our country now stands at a crossroads, indeed, the world stands at a crossroads where those values are very much at risk and it is up to each of us who care about wellbeing to do what we can to defend those principles. Also, to warn my readers about actions, events, and trends that threaten those values. When I began Schwartzreport my purpose was to produce an entirely fact-based daily publication in favor of the earth, the inter-connectedness and interdependence of all life, democracy, equality for all, liberty, and things that are life-affirming. IF YOU ENJOY SR AND FIND IT USEFUL WOULD YOU PLEASE DONATE
